I love world building as you may be able to tell from my books. From the Watch system in Vespiri, to the nomadic Families in Terolia, they make it real to me. In book three we are off to freezing Archduchy of Elothia.(less)

Hi Lori,

Thank you for the question.

There are six books in the main series with two novellas. Book six should release later this year which will wrap the series up (though I may consider a spin off series if there is the demand!). Then there is the prequel, which may be two books, depends how long it gets (its currently 135k words and there is still a way to go!). I also have ideas for some side stories in the same world as the characters are such fun to write, so I may write more.

So glad you are enjoying the series. (less)

Book Review Alert: A Force of Nature by Janna Ruth

Reviewed: October 16th, 2025
Released: August 20th, 2021
Genre: Urban Fantasy

I’ve trusted nature spirits with my life, until the storm king decided I had to die.

Did you ever wonder what living on the streets of Berlin is like? My name is Rika and I’ve been homeless for eight years. It’s not too bad, since I’ve got salamanders to warm me in winter and dryads to protect me from stragglers. People say
